While Clive has returned to television with a Channel 5 of his own, Amanda is yet to feature on a farm-related show.

But, according to sources, Amanda is gearing up to return to the screens on a Channel 4 programme.

While not much is known about the show, a source reportedly claimed: "Channel 4 bosses very much saw the series as a test run of Amanda in a new setting and the response from audiences was good."

They continued: "So they want to push ahead and make more shows with her as soon as possible including a show which they are about to announce.

"It will still link to her origins on Our Yorkshire Farm, as it will tap into the region where she was born and spent most of her life. It very much marks the next stage of her evolution on TV and is a reflection of how she's become a star in her own right."
